Nobody.Who is Pat Mineo?
He claims he got it off the boards -- which means his "scoops" are rumors he doesn't bother to verify. And he steals content from the boards and passes it off as his own, as if he has some kind of inside knowledge or did any actual work.
Also note the non-apology apology -- he didn't merely post it on his private board, he tweeted it out.
Fake all the way around.
bad newsWho is Pat Mineo?
Meh. It’s 2019. We know people signing in all sports , collegiate or professional prior to announcements. Like the old “the X are expected to hire “x” as coach. News conference at 11am”.
It’s todays media day and age. Get with it or sit behind and bitch and moan.
2 things. The guys at Flo are not journalists, just ask them. They are far from professionals
Also, Flo does not give Spencer the respect he deserves, which is a good thing because it annoys Iowa fans, who deserve abuse.They still adhere to a very good policy regarding recruiting announcements and promoting them.
He knows full well how Twitter works.I'm not sure why I suddenly am wasting time on this guy--but it seems like he doesn't understand how twitter works--he keeps talking about his private account. Someone buy that dude a pen and notebook.
I'm taking a lesson from this episode. As a fan, I get excited about news I hear, and want to share it with folks. But it is a good thing to consider other perspectives before doing so. Journalism is dead, and yet we are all journalists now. Guess we might as well develop a code.
For my two cents. If something is a secret, then keep it a secret. If your intentions are prematurely spouted on facebook by goofballs like "Scoop" Mineo, then it is probably your fault, and a good life lesson for a young man.
Is this your dad?Hey guys, thanks for all love. If you have any questions feel free to message me. Didn’t know my tweet with 12 likes and 1 retweet was such a big deal. I’m not a website or a journalist, I shared Info that was already out and didn’t intend to steal any shine. Beau is a great kid and reached out to me and said no hard feelings... So no need to keep it going.

He got busted and is playing dumb to weasel out of it.
Cael puts new meaning in the öld phrase "championships are won in the offseason.I love the offseason.
Should we check to make sure Vodka's Life Alert is still active?Cael puts new meaning in the öld phrase "championships are won in the offseason.
Meanwhile, over in the bizarro-BWI, Vodka is formulating a deductive fallacy advocating banning the offseason.
Welcome Beau, what an addition!!!
My 2 cents. Until we hear anything official from the athlete himself, any claim of a scoop or inside info is still conjecture. Scoops might wet the appetite, but everything takes a back seat to the official announcement where in Beau's case was the moment I have myself a high five, and started to dream about his future in blue and white.
I Agree it is disappointing adults can't keep a secret and respect the kid's big moment, but for me that moment was still tied to seeing Beau's official post. And that moment was awesome, 2+ years of hope and anticipation realized for me.
Ya'll need to stop hating on Todrank. That guy single-handedly made that dual entertaining. I bet he has no regrets about it either.Exactly, who cares that PatMineo and Toadrank got 15 minutes of fame, we’re back to regularly scheduled programming

Rogue? North Umpqua?3 day fishing trip in southern Oregon where there was no cell coverage. Beau is going to be awesome for us. Great motor, aggressive style, tons of athletic talent. I see him as 141 or 149.
We're are not done with 2020 yet. Loving it!
Rogue? North Umpqua?
But, the practice ain't so bad.Rogue and some mountain lakes, and I remain the worst fisherman in the world.
I used to fish the Quetico a lot. No motors allowed, canoe only.Headed to the lake of the woods (Canadian side, north of MN) for a week with my dad in a few weeks. Guides will tell us what to use and where to cast. Should be pretty fun.
I hear it’s non stop reeling. We’ll be going for Walleye, smallmouth and maybe a big muskie or two. They allow motors in the part I’ll be.I used to fish the Quetico a lot. No motors allowed, canoe only.
Problem was it was too easy. Every cast was a hit.
But still a spectacular area.
Lake trout, Northern , Walleye, Smallmouth everywhere.I hear it’s non stop reeling. We’ll be going for Walleye, smallmouth and maybe a big muskie or two. They allow motors in the part I’ll be.
Do you even know me bro? What a joke. You all have my name in your mouth yet even Bartlett recognized I wasn’t the source of some leak. My tweet had 12 likes and 1 retweet. Calm down.
No it isn't, quite the opposite. Recruiting analysts literally sit on info for months. When recruits are going to make an announcement, staffs and recruiting sites go out of their way to let the athletes have their moment.I take it you do not follow football recruiting. If you did , this is common place. Daily. Get used to it.
